Ubisoft is not in the best place and is reeling from the loss after the latest open-worldStar Warsvideo game failed to meet the gaming community’s expectations. The poor reception of the ambitious game led to a massive decline in stock which could have serious ramifications for the company’s future and all future projects. The gaming company could still turn things upside down if the next majorAssassin’s Creedis a massive hit, which the studio desperately needs it to be.
It is common for games to tank and shoot below expectations; however, the studio will have to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Hopefully, the next installment of theAssassin’s Creedfranchise will turn their luck around.
Ubisoft Needs to Learn From Its Mistakes After the Less Than Stellar Performance ofStar Wars Outlaws
The game developers of Massive Entertainment wanted to honor the original creator ofStar Warsbytaking inspiration from other projects that influenced George Lucas. Despite the studio’s best efforts to do this project in earnest, the game failed to meet expectations and was plagued with countless glitches and visible bugs that took away the immersion of the player base.
The public reception of the game was less-than-ideal and negatively affected thepublishers’ stock prices. Even other public figures in the gaming industry, likeDavid Jaffe, dropped his two cents after spending hours playing the game; theGod of Warcreator claimed the game is not bad but not in any way great.
Fans expressed their thoughts and opinions regarding the game’s visuals and ragged performance. Theartificial intelligence of enemies is laughably badand does not do the triple-A moniker and premium price tag justice. The negative reception reflected heavily on the stock value of Ubisoft and did not do the publisher any favors.

“Think the police in GTA”: Star Wars Outlaws Shouldn’t be the Last to Take a GTA 6 Feature, When Far Cry 7 Would be a Better Fit
Ubisoft shared gameplay footage of the latestStar Warsproject a few weeks before release and it set the bar for what players can expect. Rather than generating more hype and anticipation,the gaming community amused themselves by tearing the footage apartand cited it was quite dated for a modern triple-A game.
Hopefully,Assassin’s Creed Shadowswill live up to the hype and be the turning point the gaming company needs. The gaming industry can be a cut-throat business and it would be best for studios to avoid suffering from major losses before they run out of luck.
The developers still have a few months to polish the game and learn from the mistakes of Outlaws. The artificial intelligence should be tuned and optimized to operate as intended, unlike the poor performance of the Stormtroopers in the Star Wars game, and deliver a great gaming experience.
